November 2023 FilmBoot24 Films
SEVEN YEARS! We are so excited to present to you the amazing storytelling work that this year's students and mentors created in just 24 hours. Thank you to Drew University and Orange School District for making our seventh year doing FilmBoot24 a complete success! Starting on Friday night, over 60 high school students, college students and professional mentors teamed up to create 6 films by 6 pm on Saturday. This was also the second year that we put together a SPANISH LANGUAGE TEAM (Team 5). Each film had a theme that was tied to their curriculum and each team had to use the same prop, a A MIRROR, in some way in their film. Can't wait for you to watch. Enjoy!!
